Journal Entry 

The cast came off yesterday which is a nice step in the right direction. However....

For the coming week I need to utilize the footwear seen here in the photo whenever I exercise, go outside or involve myself in anything strenuous. So still a little inconvenienced - emphasis on a little - but a lot better than having that clunky cast.

I'm going to try to make myself exercise as much as I can reasonably do on a daily basis. I think that is the answer to getting my blood glucose levels down to a more acceptable level.

I invited Jake to come over later this morning and take me to Del Taco for a breakfast burrito and he graciously accepted my invitation since my new footwear will obviously not allow me to drive. But hopefully next week I'll be more back to normal. 

The real important news is that my toe is looking very much better and that is what counts. Cathy took a picture but I didn't get it but I'll take one next week. Then one of my main goals for the rest of my life will be to take good care of that foot so I don't have to go through all of this again. It probably seems a little over dramatic but I guess I came close to not being able to recover from the serious infection that I had. Terms like "MRS" and "Septic" were involved plus I'm still giving myself IV antibiotics everyday and apparently will continue to do so for several weeks. So this was serious and I am a believer. Never again if I can help it.
